My Project

In our high school culinary arts program, students learn more than just recipes—they’re mastering professionalism, safety, and pride in their craft. To help them show up prepared and polished each day, we’re requesting chef hats, aprons, hair nets, ties, lint rollers, and other locker essentials like clipboards, markers, glue sticks, and first-aid supplies.

These items might seem small, but they play a huge role in reinforcing hygiene, confidence, and readiness—just like in a real restaurant kitchen.

Many of our students come from low-income households and can’t afford these basic supplies. With your support, they’ll be able to dress the part and stay organized, focused, and food-safe.

Help our future chefs shine—both in and out of the kitchen!
